We have smart phones, smart cars, smart homes and now, it’s time for smart CLOTHES. A group of scientists in Finland are the definition of fashion forward as they're working on designing the clothes of the future.Their work is part of the Smart Clothing project at the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.

The idea of creating smart clothing was first prompted by the science fiction but even experts didn’t expect the e-textile revolution to start to fast and progress so rapidly.
Nowadays smart clothing is used to encase wearable technology and provide the user with new, unseen before capabilities and functionality. There are many working prototypes and startups, which are aimed at redefining the fashion industry.
Right now wearable technology has found its best use in the sport, fitness, wellness and medical industries (special monitors may be used for tracking all the vital body metrics) but creative solutions may influence the creation of casual clothing (there are already substances, which can make clothing repel water, dust and other pollutants).
Smart clothing is definitely a thing of the future and this industry has everything it takes to become a mainstream technology. More about such technologies here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixN3Uf6ZrRo
In this video presentation we have reviewed such futuristic clothing designs (fair use of footage, all credits are below and in the video):
- Synapse dress, which lights up the dress, depending on the person’s moon: www.vimeo.com/106431614
- Smart fitness tracker, which can help monitor performance to reach better results: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbtc-unamZs
- A smart shoe, which can change its style: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-HAu9FEbss
- An overview of a smart-shirt created for running: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO80nmgCbZs
- A scientific story about the technology of smart gloves, used for gesture-controlling technology: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci-yB6EgVW4
- The special compound, which makes clothing waterproof and resistant to pollutants (hydrophobic clothing).

At just 21 years old, LaQuan Smith is designing for the likes of Lady Gaga and Rihanna. The super smart designer, who was rejected from the big fashion schools, just had his first show in New York City. Andre Leon Talley, Vogue's editor-at-large, gave it a standing ovation.

German entrepreneur and fashion designer Lilien Stenglein specializes in fashion tech. She approaches her collection concepts with an interdisciplinary perspective and a business background. In 2012, she graduated with a BA in Corporate Management & Economics, then went on to study fashion design, and in 2016 founded her label Lilien Finess Design.

Imagine a mannequin that can morph into any body shape with a few clicks on a computer. Imagine no more – i.Dummy is here.
Invented by the Hong Kong Polytechnic University’s Institute of Textiles and Clothing, i.Dummy (intelligent dummy) is a robot mannequin that can transform into any body shape or size.
To create i.Dummy's universal body scales and sizes, the university team collected a massive amount of anthropometric data (technical talk for measurements of the human body’s size and proportion) of people from all over the world, as well as actual body shapes using a 3D Body Scanner.
Now, instead of using a large number of different sized dummies for fitting and product development, design houses, buying offices and factories can get multiple jobs done with just one i.Dummy.
i.Dummy not only provides a large variety of body sizes, it can also change shape to suit particular garments such as evening gowns, casual clothes or swimwear.
i.Dummy can save space, time and money. It’s, literally, a fitting revolution!

SMART FASHION PRODUCTION project is an EU-funded project, supported by WEARsustain.eu
Smart textiles have developed over the last couple of years. But the manufacturing into garments is still done in an old fashioned way, mainly based on sewing techniques. It is done at the other side of the globe. With ethical and environmental concerns. We don’t understand how we can we can call ‘smart fashion’ ‘smart’, if the production isn’t.
The work of Karin Vlug is on the cutting edge of high fashion and technology. Her goal is to create a smart garment manufacturing system without sewing. She won the Frans Molenaar Couture Award for one of her collections. Technologist Bas Froon translates creative ideas of designers into reality and developed the micromoulding machine in 2017. He uses soft bio-composite materials to digitally produce wearable soft products. Assembly of the pieces are done by CAM technology and his fusing technique instead of sewing.
In this project we propose to further develop our ‘smart fashion production’ concept together with a new design language. Smart textiles will play an important role because they operate at the cutting edge of the market. Our approach will enable to produce these smart textiles digitally into made-to-measure smart fashion.
In our approach, fashion design and development of the manufacturing technology will be highly integrated, iterative and hands-on. We identified three major ‘design variables’ that will help bringing the technology from a ‘proof of concept’ into a ‘system prototype demonstration’:
Within 1) manufacturing technique we are going to extend the micromoulding machine thus it can automatically join separate pattern parts to digitally create smart garments. This concept has been demonstrated in 2017, but some manual actions were still necessary. In our project we aim to further automate these manual actions. 2) Material research will be done to collect and construct new fabrics that are sustainable, fashionable and suitable for our process. This includes e-textiles.
Consumer desire depends on how it looks. Our technology and material, requires a totally new 3) design language and pattern handling. We will design cutting edge couture to stimulate market-pull.
Consumers will appreciate fashion that is made locally, more sustainable and under ethical conditions. In the future, garments will be tailor-made, more comfortable and valuable, while the digital manufacturing approach will make it economically feasible to produce local for a competitive price.

MRS TV visits the Wearables in Smart Fabrics Fashion Show, which explores the intersection of materials technology and smart garment/wearable design and provides a window on the future of materials science in this field.

Amanda takes us on a whirlwind journey through some of the latest advances and projects in Wearable Computing. The newest companies are rethinking the very nature of technology. For instance, instead of sewing a battery into a garment, they're making garments that can generate their own power. New technology looks more like fashionable jewelry than like a computer.
Dr. Amanda Parkes is a fashion and wearable technology expert, the Chief of Technology and Research at Manufacture NY, a fashion incubator/factory/research facility. She holds a PhD from the MIT Media Lab and is a member of the Business of Fashion 500 People Shaping the Global Fashion Industry.
As a biomedia designer and fashion technologist, Amanda Parkes stands at the intersection of new media, textiles, and fashion. After completing her BA in art history and BS in mechanical engineering (product design) at Stanford, Parkes dedicated her career to discovering new ways that digital technology and ‘smart materials’ affect everyday lives. Her Twitter handle describes her as “one part algae, one part fashion, a dash of robots and a smattering of installation art.”

Transcript:
I always felt that I wanted my work to connect
emotionally with people.
Being a designer or even more a designer maker,
has to be part of my life, since I can remember.
My Mother is a taylor herself, so I always
grew up with the knowledge that if you want something you can just make it yourself.
So I'm constantly looking into innovation and what scientists are discovering
and I find great inspiration, in imagining how this new discovery can be part of every day life.
I chose London for it's vibrant energy, everybody is very open minded and they are very curious.London has highly influenced my work, in a way that I take a risk.
People have the desire to discover new things. When I was a researcher at the MIT Media Lab Europe I had the opportunity to learn electronics
for the first time.
I could not believe there was not enough toys on the market that could provide girls with this knowledge.
So my first product was to develop a toy,that is textile and fluffy and fun. It teaches electronics while you build it.
I believe the designer's role is to ensure that the product is needed, as well as desired.
And only really meaningful products stay and endure the course of time.
I use a lot of craft in my work, as well as very innovative technology and manufacturing
processes.For example I'm growing crystals here at the lab, with a special formula I have developed,that reacts to UV light.
So making 3D printed jewellery, so that when you wear it and you go outside, you are fully aware of the exposure to the sun.
What differentiates me from other designers is the way that I mix innovation with heritage. I have developed this scarf, which are highly
reflective, so they could save your life,but at the same time you can remain stylish and you are wearing a local product, that has been locally sourced, with Scottish wools.
I never take no as an answer and I make sure that if there's something I make, I will learn my own way to do it.

A model in a pink bodysuit and a red, high-waisted couture skirt featured smart technology designed to ease a woman’s menstrual cramps. Such smart technology was featured in the Wearables in Smart Fabrics Fashion Show in Phoenix.
